Review: Cold Deceit

Book Review: Cold Deceit, by Toni Anderson, 5 stars


When forensic anthropologist Zoe Miller stumbles across a murder victim in the blisteringly hostile Sonoran Desert, she triggers a chain of events that puts her in the crosshairs of a ruthless killer. FBI HRT operator Seth Hopper is on secret assignment near the Mexican border when he suddenly finds himself on a rescue mission. The former Navy SEAL is ordered to protect Zoe, whether she likes it or not, which sets them off on a cross-country journey back to Virginia. Zoe has good reason not to trust a man like Seth, but there is no denying the scorching heat that flares between them, hotter than the desert sun. Can Zoe find justice for the murdered woman? Or will the killers close in to destroy them both...

Review: I absolutely loved this book. For a while I had the feeling the quality of the stories was getting weaker, but this one is definitely a winner. I was hooked from page one and I just couldn't put it down. The characters were great, the plot interesting (and passing on important messages about social issues we often tend to forget about) and even if part of the suspense if eclipsed by the fact that here and there the story's point of view changes to the "bad guys", there are still lots of unexpected twists and turns.
 
 
   

 
And yes, it can be perfectly read as a stand alone, so I totally recommend it!

Happy readings!
